Webbo118 0 Posted February 27, 2013 [quote user="Mervmeister"]I must be in the minority here but I would like to see them then in prem with us. As long as we beat them every year and finish above them in the table I would be happy. Cant beat derby days IMO. Also its not like we have loads of teams in the area, make the most of those we have I say. No I definitely am not a binner before it gets suggested. Just wouldnt wish portsmouth situation on any team or business. Derby days are missed for me, but would love them in the top flight and not the championship.[/quote] Grow up for Christ''s sake.

Ketts Rebel 0 Posted February 27, 2013 I have a solution to the Ip5w1ch problem;1. They get promoted to the prem with a 2nd place finish in the Championship (so no silverware).2. Get a home and away hiding from us in the prem (both games on tv).3. Suffer a last game of the season heartbreaking relegation.4. Return to item 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted February 28, 2013 The thing is if they do start do dwindle and fall down the leagues then so will the ferocity of the rivalry, the next generation would have slightly less hatred and the next even less and so on. Until eventually, in a couple of generations, the rivalry would become no more, and I would not like that to happen.The reason us and Ipswich became a rival match is because we''re two clubs relatively close to each other both in distance and in league standings. Without either one of these aspects the rivalry would no doubt eventually cease. Otherwise our main rivals would be Lowerstoft, or the team that we''ve been in the same league with most frequently. The rivalry is a special part of this club and one of the biggest derbies in the country (rated 2nd fiercest), making every fixture a huge occasion. With the best atmosphere.

Bill 1,788 Posted February 28, 2013 "The rivalry is a special part of this club and one of the biggest derbies in the country (rated 2nd fiercest), making every fixture a huge occasion" What a pile of old bol lox ! It is no part of our club whatsoever. Fans may see a game against them has having extra significance but that is it. As to "one of the biggest derbies in the country " that is even more horse sh ite. If you want size go to Man Utd/Man City, Arsenal/Spurs, Liverpool /Everton. If you want serious rivalry go to West Ham/Millwall, Cardiff/Swansea. Pompey/Soton or even Celtic/Rangers. And if you want to read what genuine City fans think of the thieving scum down the A140 read this thread. Where they finish is their concern. Whether they end up where they deserve is not really our concern either. But I''m sure City fans enjoyment of these past couple of seasons hasn''t been dimished in any way by not playing those lowlife - amd I doubt one single City fan would swap Sturdays game for a visit to poorman road.

Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted February 28, 2013 No I am not overly fussed about their league position at all, and I''m not saying I would take that instead of Premier League football, all I''m saying that is I would not mind if they came up. It would add extra to our season every season. Imagine if we get relegated back to mid-table championship football, without that fixture the seasons would be pretty dire. This is a quotation taken from Wikipedia - ''''According to the Football Rivalries Report 2008, the East Anglian derby is the second fiercest rivalry in England after the Black Country derby between West Bromwich Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers.[2][3]''''I like how you suggest that I''m not a genuine fan because I don''t share the same level of hatred as you.So given the choice, between never playing Ipswich again, or playing Ipswich again, what would it be?I can''t believe how many people want to wave goodbye to a fixture which has probably produced your most popular memories of being a City fan.Do people just hate the thought of losing to Ipswich so much that they''d rather never play them again?

Bill 1,788 Posted February 28, 2013 "Do people just hate the thought of losing to Ipswich so much that they''d rather never play them again?" Nice try binboy, but you are not fooling anybody as with your previous sh ite - "2 Derby games every year would be great!" "That may be why, I haven''t really had any massive reason to hate on them personally " "I understand what you say about them dropping down the leagues but then what after that? It would get boring not playing them." "I think the derby game is something to relish each season and if we''re destined to be a mid table team it gives us the chance of our own little victory every year, and if we don''t beat them one season.. the sweeter it will be the next time we do! " "I''m surprised how many are against playing Ipswich regularly" "I just wish them to be in the same league as us" so many posts all trying to defend our thieving neighours .... hmmm ? "Where''s the excitement in never playing them?" rather like where''s the fun now Jimmy Savile is dead Now why not jog along down to the pub binboy, and get yourself a pint - you could even have a couple if the barmaids not looking and you can nick the charity collecting tin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not Nigel 0 Posted February 28, 2013 People who hate Ipswich with a passion (like me), don''t understand people who don''t hate Ipswich with a passion. It must be something to do with how we are brought up, I was brought up in a family which hated Ipswich Town with a passion.Perhaps the difference is that those who don''t hate Ipswich with a passion were not brought up in passionate Norwich supporting households.

Warren Hill 0 Posted February 28, 2013 I like to see them scratching around, looking up at their betters. The further they have to crane their necks, the better. I don''t miss playing them, I don''t miss their cess pit of a town, I don''t miss their dung beetle fans. I bet St John''s Ambulance missed the 95% of the money they were owed though.
